Lost Maples Cafe

amazing service when we stopped in for pie and coffee on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. We got the peach and the buttermilk with an amazing cup of coffee!

Super cozy little spot with unexpectedly good coffee made for a really nice lazy Sunday afternoon .

thanks to our lovely server for great service!

Amazing interior and exterior! The place was so cool especially the booth area. It's like you are in different place.

The food was okay - I don't think so we were able to really have a choice in picking a food we wanted because the server gave us a menu that's so limited. We thought it was what it's supposed to be then we checked other table and they have the menu that so much more.

We were from hike when we went here so we were starving.

We didn't really get a good experience especially from our server who gave us an attitude and we went out of the place wondering what just happened.

So even this place is so cool and they even have good pies and cakes that we didn't try we probably not going back with this place.

Rustic, sprawling diner-esque cafe in tiny Utopia. Open on Sundays = miraculous, so it was perfect after our hike in the State Natural Area.

I had a deliciously cheesy patty melt, smoking hot, and my spouse had the smaller chicken fried steak portion (two sizes: medium and large). He had it with fried okra to switch it up. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. We also had a tiny bit of cake; it came in a little satellite cup! Not gonna over-eat on cake! They also were offering many pies but we didn't partake. Next time!

They brought huge glasses of half-and-half sweet tea that we got to take with us. Other than a miscommunication from our very personable waitress (we waited for a very long time at the table for a togo order that was left at the cashier counter), we had a perfectly lovely time and would absolutely go again!

At the recent visit to Maple Café, the cheeseburger I savored was exceptional, paired perfectly with crispy French fries. My sister opted for the grilled chicken burger, which also impressed, though I lean towards recommending the burger over the chicken option. Our appetizers, fried pickles and jalapeño poppers, were outstanding. While I didn't personally fancy the salsa and chips, tastes may vary. Discovering that the movie "Seven Days in Utopia" was filmed at that very restaurant was a delightful surprise, adding an extra layer of coolness to the dining experience that I hadn't anticipated.

This place is really charming, but it sucks that the service and the food isn't better.

We came here for breakfast, but apparently they do "limited menus" so we could only pick between eggs, toast, biscuits, hash browns, home potatoes, bacon, or ham. I originally came out here because I saw pancakes in previous reviews and was in the mood for pancakes.

The food was mediocre and it's disappointing that a small town country place serves you artificial butter spread & premade frozen hash browns.

The customer service and speed of receiving your order needs work. They also got our order wrong which no big deal, we still ate it.

I really hope they improve because this place has potential to be so much more.

Can't have too high of expectations for a cafe in the middle of nowhere, but this place was pretty good. I got the burger and sweet potato fries and thought it was great. I had some friends get a side salad and it was awful - room temperature and weird textured lettuce with no toppings. Other than that, everyone enjoyed their sandwiches. Friendly service, cool atmosphere.

Amazing country breakfast! Nice service. I recommend the potatoes over the hash browns.

There's nowhere to eat in Utopia, so if you're staying nearby I recommend going on a grocery run before you land. The French fries were so overcooked that it was like biting into a cigarette. I'm not fancy or picky about food but this place really could put some effort into what they're doing. We've been here three times and the food got progressively worse so we know it wasn't an "off" day. The only reason they get three stars is because they're consistently open and the servers are nice.

So, here's the deal. In a large city, Lost Maples Cafe would probably get a three star rating from me. But in a small town like Utopia, where options are very limited, it definitely shines brighter than the rest, so four stars seems more fair.

The menu options are a bit limited but everything we ordered was freshly made and tasty, including the vegetable omelette, homemade biscuit, and the breakfast taco, served with a side of fresh salsa. Pies are very fresh, and the coconut meringue top and filling were among the most moist and freshest I've had in many years. It's worth coming here for the pie alone.

The staff is friendly and create a family style atmosphere. Everyone in the place was relaxed and casual, embodying that small town feel that so many people seek to experience and recreate. Utopia definitely got it!

Good stuff. I recommend.

Waitress was really great and food was good. I didn't care for their regular burger but what was SPECTACULAR was the Lamb Sliders. We got them as an appetizer (it came with 2) and were just blown away. They should offer a regular lamb burger because it was DELICIOUS. Cooked perfectly with Tatzatziki sauce on it. CFS was tasty, and the pies were yummy.
